Reposing full confidence in the leadership of President Asif Ali Zardari and Prime Minister Syed Yousuf Raza Gilani, the Federal Cabinet Wednesday decided that the government would continue struggle to strengthen national institutions.
Minister for Information and Broadcasting Firdous Ashiq Awan said on Wednesday that PPP believes in supremacy of Parliament and National Assembly session has been summoned to find a way forward.
Addressing a news conference after Cabinet meeting, she ruled out all the rumours regarding the resignation of Prime Minister, saying that the rumour mills were spreading lot of disinformation but personal wishes cannot become news. The upcoming National Assembly session (38th session) would not result in confrontation, she added.
Government, she said, is not in favour of confrontation between the State institutions.
She further said that the National Assembly session was being summoned on the advice of allied political parties.
She said that Prime Minister Syed Yousuf Raza Gilani has been unanimously elected Leader of the House and it is for sure as he cannot be sent home on someone’s wishes.
Firdous further said that it would be better for the Opposition if they move apex court for registering a case under Article-6 of the Constitution against the dictator (Pervez Musharraf).
To a question, she said that the coalition partners had advised the PPP-government not to adopt a confrontational way with State institutions and this opinion would not be set aside rather all decisions will be taken with the consultation of the allies.
She also made it clear that PPP leadership did not need to become political martyrs as it has history of sacrifices for democracy.
To a question about the resignation of PPP legislator from Muzaffargarh Jamshed Dasti, she was hopeful that PPP leadership would address his (Dasti) grievances.
To another question, she said that the government would submit its reply in the Supreme Court (SC) in NRO case and the Attorney General has been given this task to prepare reply.
Meanwhile, sources privy to the Cabinet meeting informed that the Federal Cabinet has decided to use Parliament forum to give their strong response.
Prime Minister also received nod from almost all Cabinet members on its stance.
